Steve Jobs 史蒂芬·乔布斯CEO of Apple Computers 苹果电脑CEOStanford University 斯坦福大学June 12, 2005 2005年6月12日Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

记着你总会死去，这是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。赤条条来去无牵挂，还有什么理由不随你的心?!你的时间是有限的，因此不要把时间浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条所困——使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你的内心与直觉，它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。其他的，都是次要的。 2. David Foster Wallace Novelist 小说家Kenyon College 肯尼恩学院May 21, 2005 2005年5月21日There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How's the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”... simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:“This is water。”“This is water。”It is unimaginably hard to do this, to sta y conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out。 有两条小鱼一起在水里游，碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老鱼向他们点点头，并说:“早上好，孩子们。水怎么样?”这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿后，其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了，看了一下另一条小鱼，问道:“水到底是什么东西?”……简单的意识;对我们生活中如此真实、如此必不可少、无处不在、无时不在的事物的意识，需要我们一遍一遍地提醒自己:“这是水。”“这是水。”天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活，在成人世界中做到这点，是不可想象地难。
英语中的十二生肖 “生肖”是代替十二地支、用来表示人们出生的12种动物，即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。如寅年出生的人属虎，卯年出生的人属兔。“生肖”也就是俗话说的“属相”，是中国人特有的一种表示出生时间的方式，相当于西方的黄道十二星座（双鱼座、白羊座、金牛座、双子座、巨蟹座、狮子座、室女座、天秤座、天蝎座、人马座、摩羯麻、宝瓶座）。 英语中，当谈个人出生的属相时，表达为“What animal sign were you born under? 你属什么？I was born in the year of the Cock / Mine is the Cock. 我属鸡。”汉语中，人们往往以十二生肖中的动物来比喻人，即把不同（性格、特征、习性等）的人比作动物，如常以“毒如蛇蝎”，“笨猪”、“胆小如鼠”来比喻心毒手辣的人、笨人、胆小怯懦的人等。英语中同样可用十二生肖中的动物喻人，其所表达的意思更加广泛而有趣。现简述如下： 一、鼠——Rat 英语中用以比喻讨厌鬼，可耻的人，告密者，密探，破坏罢工的人；美国俚语指新学生。 当看到smell a rat这一词组时，是指人们怀疑在做错某事。a rat race 则表示激烈的竞争。rats desert a sinking ship（船沉鼠先逃，这一谚语意指那些一遇到危险就争先寻求安全或一看见困难便躲得老远的人。） 二、牛——Ox 涉及“牛”的汉语成语很多，如“对牛弹琴”、“牛蹄之涔”等。英语中涉及“Ox”的表达方式则不多。用Ox － eyed形容眼睛大的人；用短语The black Ox has trod on sb's foot. 表示灾祸已降临到某人头上。 三、虎——Tiger 指凶恶的人，虎狼之徒；英国人指穿制服的马夫；口语中常指比赛的劲敌。中国和东南亚国家常以Paper tiger比喻貌似强大而实质虚弱的敌人。词组ride the tiger表示以非常不确定或危险的方式生活。

十二生肖在英文中的寓意 “生肖”是代替十二地支、用来表示人们出生的12种动物，即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。如寅年出生的人属虎，卯年出生的人属兔。“生肖”也就是俗话说的“属相”，是中国人特有的一种表示出生时间的方式，相当于西方的黄道十二星座(双鱼座、白羊座、金牛座、双子座、巨蟹座、狮子座、室女座、天秤座、天蝎座、人马座、摩羯麻、宝瓶座)。 当询问个人出生的属相时，英语表达为What animal sign were you born under ?(你属什么？)答语可以是：I was born in the year of the Cock 或 Mine is the Cock。(我属鸡。) 十二生肖的12种动物用英语说是：鼠：Rat，牛：Ox，虎：Tiger，兔：Hare，龙：Dragon ，蛇：Snake，马：Horse，羊：Sheep，猴：Monkey，鸡：Cock，狗：Dog，猪：Boar。汉语中，人们往往以十二生肖中的动物来比喻人，即把不同(性格、特征、习性等)的人比作动物，如常以“毒如蛇蝎”，“笨猪”、“胆小如鼠”来分别比喻心毒手辣的人、笨人、胆小怯懦的人等。英语中同样可用十二生肖中的动物喻人，其所表达的意思更加广泛而有趣。 一、鼠——Rat 英语中用以比喻讨厌鬼，可耻的人，告密者，密探，破坏罢工的人；美国俚语指新学生、下流女人。 当看到smell a rat这一词组时，是指人们怀疑在做错某事。a rat race则表示激烈的竞争。Rats desert a sinking ship(船沉鼠先逃，这一谚语意指那些一遇到危险就争先寻求安全或一看见困难便躲得老远的人。) 二. 牛——Ox 涉及“牛”的汉语成语很多，如“对牛弹琴”、“牛蹄之涔”等。英语中涉及“Ox”的表达方式则不多。用Ox － eyed形容眼睛大的人；用短语The black Ox has trod on sb’s foot表示灾祸已降临到某人头上。 三. 虎——Tiger 虎指凶恶的人，虎狼之徒；英国人指穿制服的马夫；口语中常指比赛的劲敌。中国和东南亚国家常以Paper tiger比喻貌似强大而实质虚弱的敌人。词组ride the tiger表示以非常不确定或危险的方式生活。 四. 兔——Hare 在英国俚语中，hare指坐车不买票的人。与hare组成的词组有：make a hare of sb。愚弄某人。start a hare，在讨论中提出枝节问题。例如：You start a hare ever time at the meeting。每次讨论你都提出与题无关的问题。 英语中有许多关于兔的谚语，如： 1. First catch your hare。勿谋之过早(意指：不要过于乐观)。 2. You cannot run with the hare and hunt with hounds。不能两面讨好(意指：不要耍两面派)。 五. 龙——Dragon 龙在中国人民的心目中占有崇高的位置，有关龙的成语非常多，且含有褒义。如“龙跃凤鸣”、“龙骧虎步”等。在英语中，赞扬龙的词语非常之少，且含有贬义。如“dragon”指凶暴的人，严厉的人，凶恶严格的监护人，凶恶的老妇人(尤指很少给在其看管下姑娘自由的老妇人)等。以dragon组成的词组也多含贬义。如dragon’s teeth ：相互争斗的根源； the old Dragon：魔鬼。 六. 蛇——Snake
中外名人励志故事加感悟300字左右 篇一：中外名人励志小故事20篇中外名人励志小故事20篇 1、法国名画家纪雷有一天参加一个宴会，宴会上有个身材矮小的人走到他面前，向他深深一鞠躬，请求他收为徒弟。纪雷朝那人看了一眼，发现他是个缺了两只手臂的残废人，就婉转拒绝他，并说：“我想你画画恐怕不太方便吧?” 可是那个人并不在意，立刻说：“不，我虽然没有手，但是还有两只脚。”说着，便请主人拿来纸和笔，坐在地上，就用脚趾头夹着笔画了起来。他虽然是用脚画画，但是画得很好，足见是下过一番苦功的。在场的客人，包括纪雷在内，都被他的精神所感动。纪雷很高兴，马上便收他为徒弟。这个矮个子自从拜纪雷为师之后，更加用心学习，没几年的工夫便名扬天下。他就是有名的无臂画家杜兹纳。启示：没有手竟然能成为画家，岂不是很不可思议吗?这个故事告诉我们，要有排除万难的毅力和恒心，你就能创造奇迹，做到别人做不到的事情。只要努力、才会出现奇迹。 2、每一个人都有幽默的时候，只是在不要同的地方。就算是周总理，只是在不同的地方。一位记者问总理：“中国有没有妓女?”不少人纳闷：怎们问这种问题?大家关注着周总理，周总理肯定的说：“有!”接着”中国的妓女在台湾!”这一答，记者哑口无言。其实这是一个圈套，只要总理说：“没有”，一旦你真的这样回答了，就中了他的圈套，他会紧接着说“台湾有妓女”，这个时候你总不能说“台湾不是中国的领土”。美国代表团访华时曾有一位记者说：“中国人很喜欢低着头走路，而我们美国人却总是抬着头走路。” 此语一出，话惊四座。周总理不慌不忙，脸带微笑地说：“这并不奇怪。因为我们中国人喜欢走上坡路，而你们美国人喜欢走下坡路。” 美国官员的话里显然包含着对中国人的极大侮辱。在场的中国工作人员都十分气愤，但又不能在外交场合强烈斥责对方的无礼。如果忍气吞声，听任对方的羞辱，那么国威何在?周总理的回答让美国人领教了什么叫做柔中带刚，最终尴尬、窘迫的是美国人自己。有时候的幽默，可以用来玩，也可以用来维护尊严。 3、郭沫若是我国卓越的无产阶级文化战士。他于1892 年生于四川乐山“绥山毓秀，沫水钟灵”的古镇——沙湾。郭沫若四岁半便进“绥山馆”读书，在这里度过了八个春秋。郭沫若在私塾先生的训导下，读《唐诗三百首》、《千家诗》等许多古书。因此，他不到七岁，就已能写出满不错的对联和诗词。郭沫若在少年时代就十分同情家庭困难的同学。有一天，他碰到

名人英语演讲稿 tribute to diana 致戴安娜——查尔斯·斯宾塞 在全世界，戴安娜是同情心、责任心、风度和美丽的化身，是无私和人道的象征，是维 护真正被践踏的权益的旗手，是一个超越国界的英国女孩，是一个带有自然的高贵气质的人， 是一个不分阶层的人。 this is the text of earl spencers tribute to his sister at her funeral. there is some very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment. would that those at whom it is aimed would take heed. the versions posted on several news services had minor errors. this is precisely as it was deliverd. i stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country in mourning before a world in shock. we are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to diana but rather in our need to do so. for such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of sunday morning. it is a more remarkable tribute to diana than i can ever hope to offer her today. today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though god granted you but half a life. we will all feel cheated, always, that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult. we have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward. there is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory. there is no need to do so. you stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint. indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely contain. but your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely. this is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. and if we look to analyze what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for what was really important in all our lives. without your god-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance at the anguish of aids and hiv sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. diana explained to me once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with her constituency of the rejected. the world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her
Chinese Zodiac Stories There are many legends and mythology related to Chinese zodiac and there are various versions and stories popular in different regions. Why were there twelve animals in the zodiac calendar and how did the scheme order come from? Here are the most well-know stories, as an important part of Chinese zodiacal culture. Order of the Animals This is the most widespread legend about Chinese zodiac. The Jade Emperor (The Emperor in Heaven in Chinese folklore) ordered that animals would be designated as calendar signs and the twelve that arrived first would be selected. At that time, the cat and the rat were good friends and neighbors. When they heard of this news, the cat said to the rat: 'We should arrive early to sign up, but I usually get up late.' The rat then promised to awaken his friend and go together. However, on the morning when he got up, he was too excited to recall his promise, and went directly to the gathering place. On the way, he encountered the tiger, ox, horse, and other animals that ran much faster. In order not to fall behind them, he thought up a good idea. He made the straightforward ox carry him on condition that he sang for the ox. At last, the ox and him arrived first. The ox was happy thinking that he would be the first sign of the years, but the rat had already slid in front, and became the first lucky animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Steve Jobs 史蒂芬·乔布斯CEO of Apple Computers 苹果电脑CEOStanford University 斯坦福大学June 12, XX XX年6月12日Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary。 记着你总会死去，这是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。赤条条来去无牵挂，还有什么理由不随你的心?!你的时间是有限的，因此不要把时间浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条所困——使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。最重要的是，要有
与十二生肖有关的一些英语词组。 一、鼠(rat) 生肖中的"鼠"用rat这个单词来表达。 a rat leaving a sinking ship 不能共患难的人 Rats desert a sinking ship. 树倒猢狲散。 like a drowned rat 湿透了，像落汤鸡一样 like a rat in a hole 瓮中之鳖一般 rat out 夹着尾巴走、在尴尬中离去 have a rat in a garret 想入非非，在口语中表示难以实现的梦想 die like a rat 被毒死 smell a rat 感到不妙，感到可疑 Rats！胡说八道！(具有斥责、生气的意味) A rat race 激烈的竞争(尤指为保住职位和地位) 另外，表示"鼠"的单词还有mouse(复数为mice)。下面则是使用mouse这个单词的词组。 as poor as a church mouse 一贫如洗 like a drowned mouse 狼狈不堪 play cat and mouse with sb. 对某人时好时坏 quiet as a mouse 不出声，无声响 二、牛(ox) 首先需要说明的是，ox是不分性别的牛的统称。 The black ox has trod on somebody's foot. 灾祸已经降临到某人头上了
ox-eyed 大眼睛的 而bull则表示公牛。 a bull in a china shop 鲁莽冲撞的人 throw the bull (美国俚语)一派胡言，胡言乱语，吹牛 take the bull by the horns 不畏艰险 like a bull at a gate 狂怒地、凶猛地 milk the bull 做毫无意义的事情、徒劳无益 cow是"母牛、奶牛"。 till the cows come home 永远都不可能地 a sacred cow 可用于比喻神圣不可侵犯的人或事 三、虎(tiger) fight like a tiger 极力攻击某人或保护自己 a paper tiger 纸老虎 catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's lair 不入虎穴，焉得虎子 四、兔(rabbit) like rabbits in a warren 挤得水泄不通 五、龙(dragon) 在西方国家，龙的形象与中国大有不同，这种差异在有关dragon 的英语词组的含义中充分体现出来了。在中国，龙是吉祥如意之兆，是历代帝王的象征，有神圣不可侵犯的感觉，正如印度人视牛为神圣的动物一样(正是前文提到的a sacred cow)。 但是，在西方国家，龙却被视为凶猛狠毒的动物。也正因此，我们所熟悉的"亚洲四小龙"的称呼，在英语中并不使用dragon这个单词，而是用tiger，成为"Asian Tigers"。
